成人VR视频 researchers net $1.5M for innovation
CFI Leaders Opportunity Fund to support 10 projects in variety of disciplines
成人VR视频 researchers studying everything from architecture to water treatment will benefit from $1.5 million in new funding awarded through the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 Leaders Opportunity Fund.
鈥淭his leadership support by the Canada Foundation for Innovation allows 成人VR视频 to attract and retain the very best researchers,鈥 said Denis Th茅rien, Vice-Principal, Research and International Relations. 鈥淎s a result, our researchers are transforming their ideas into innovations that provide solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time.鈥
The funds are part of a total $22.5 million announced by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to support 134 projects at 31 institutions across Canada. Of that amount, $18,743,899 was awarded under the Leaders Opportunity Fund 鈥 a program designed to provide infrastructure and help Canadian institutions attract and retain top researchers 鈥 including $1,449,225 awarded to 10 researchers at 成人VR视频.
鈥淭his CFI investment will further develop 成人VR视频鈥檚 global reputation as a place where outstanding research and training is being conducted,鈥 said Dr. Eliot Phillipson, President and CEO of the CFI, an independent corporation created by the Government of Canada to fund research infrastructure at Canadian universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research institutions.
